The school could do a better job, but the recycling being done right now is an average C grade. Some students would take that barely passing grade, while others wouldn’t. 

If you’re running late for class, would you take the time out of your day to look at which bin the trash belongs to? 

WJPS assistant principal, Ms. Bassell commented, “Students and staff have been doing great with recycling, but the custodians don’t have the manpower to be more aware that recycling affects the building as a whole.” 

WJPS junior, Daniel Braddish, said, “I try to do my best when recycling because it’s important for our environment, but sometimes there’s time when I get lazy and forget.”

Dylan Ciardiello, a WJPS sophomore, stated, “If I’m being honest, I don’t really care to look, I just throw it in whatever bin is closest to me.” 

If we could be more cautious about where we put our garbage and if the custodians could build up more manpower and make an effort to organize the trash to where it’s supposed to be, then our school as a whole would get an A+.
